Every time we get a contribution, I'm grateful down to my toes.

Because I know whenever someone digs deep and chips in $5, $10, or whatever they can afford, it's because they're raising their hand to say "I'm ready to own a piece of the movement that's going to bring big, structural change for people across the country."

That's why, instead of spending hours on the phone courting mega-wealthy donors for big checks, I like to spend my time calling our grassroots supporters, thanking them for their contribution to our campaign.

It's one of my favorite parts of the day. Because every conversation is a small spark of the democracy we're trying to build together — one that puts political and economic power into the hands of working people.

And soon, I'll be making calls again — thanking a few of the grassroots donors who donate for the first time ahead of Wednesday's debate, whether it's $5, $15, or $50.

Will you be my next call? If you can, chip in whatever makes sense for you and keep an eye on your phone. If you get a call from an unknown number, pick up — it might be me!

I believe in how we're doing this, and I believe in our power together. We truly make each other stronger.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
